“goated food this stuffs always the best whenever i get it priced are a little high but i be worth it i love this place i love my chicken tenders i wish they had some watermelon on they menu or some grape koolaid to slide with them sliders”

“Sushi Shack is consistently the freshest and best sushi in the area. Definitely recommend the tuna popper. We had DJ as a server and he was great! Definitely added to our 5-star experience.”

“Really enjoyed coming here with my family. The staff were polite, easy to work with. This place is clean and kept up well. The food is really juicy and came out fast and hot. We had the spicy chicken and the original chicken. My husband and daughter actually preferred the spicy chicken, it was flavorful and not too spicy for them. I preferred the original chicken, it was perfectly cooked and tasted great. Highly recommend this place. We will be back soon!”

“Amazing customer service!! Huge scoops!! And they always have a Keto Flavor!! Their selection of classic and innovative flavors is second to none…and the fact that they have something for this 18 month Keto Warrior, where else would I go??”

“The food was fantastic! We had the curry vegetable and the butter chicken pizzas. Definitely check this place out, you will not be disappointed.”

“Wonderful team members. Always helpful and they doublecheck when I mess up an order with our special dietary needs! Highly recommend.

Dietary restrictions: Type 1 diabetes. Need lower carbs.”

“Great coffee shop! The employees were friendly and helpful. The shop was clean, and the coffee is delicious! I will be going back!”

“Low key some of the best street tacos I've ever had, honestly.
I've been to many a food truck from the years of raves in California and this one is a banger!
Definitely recommended stopping by! 👍🤙”

“Consistently excellent food and fantastic customer service. Extensive menu with great pricing. One of our favorite restaurants!”

“Service and food were fantastic. Jessica and Kyle were amazing. The checked often to see if we needed anything and if everything was as we wanted it. The chef is amazing. The salmon and cod were perfectly cooked.”

“Great Breakfast choices! Delicious food.. Small restaurant but cozy. Worth the 30min. wait to be seated.”

“We visited Margherita Pizza for the first time tonight. Seeing a wood fired oven in a pizza restaurant is a good first sign. A friendly, personable staff is the second. Tasting a fresh salad, refreshing Italian soda, and delicious pizza (in a style very similar to what we had in Italy) sealed the deal for us! They just gained two more loyal customers.”

“I had an amazing meal there and one person stood out the brightest I think her name was kaytlyn cute little blond girl. definitely recommend the service”

“All around great place! Amazing food! Amazing staff! So friendly! Great prices! The Cuban grilled cheese is amazing, banana bread is amazing, soups are amazing! Best of all is it’s mostly gluten free. Which works for me!😁 definitely will be coming back! Hands down 10/10! If you haven’t been there you need to try it! What a hidden gem!”

“Lucky Fins Seafood Grill ⭐️⭐️⭐️ I recently revisited Lucky Fins in Meridian. In the past, I’ve been to the original location, which is the one in Meridian, as well as the one in downtown Boise, which has since closed. There is also a location in Greeley, Colorado. We started with an appetizer of Kickin’ Shrimp ($15) - Crispy shrimp tossed in a sweet and spicy honey-chipotle sauce, served with a side of ranch and a lime wedge. Similar to Bonefish Grill’s Bang Bang Shrimp, but uniquely its own, this isn’t excellent appetizer! If you like spicy shrimp, it’s worth visiting for this dish alone. I ordered the Baja Fish Tacos ($15) - Tempura battered and fried Arctic cod with shredded cabbage, chipotle aïoli, pickled onions, cojita, and micro cilantro. Served with cilantro lime rice, lime wedges, and choice of salsa. The fish tacos were bland and flavorless. I didn’t realize until I started to write this review that they came with a choice of salsa, but I don’t think that would’ve made much of a difference. I liked the cilantro lime rice. MW ordered the Cedar Plank Salmon ($29) - Center cut, grilled Arctic salmon on Northwest Cedar plank, seasoned with Rocky Mountain meat and fish rub, loaded smashers, grilled asparagus, charred lemon. MW liked the salmon dish, but would opt for something a little more interesting next time. For dessert, we shared Bourbon Bread Pudding, which came topped with ice cream ($10). It was good. The ambience and service were excellent!”

“Everything on the menu! Service is always great and the food is spot on and consistent!”

“My husband and I could not for the life of us find a place to have dinner for New Year’s Eve that was new to us. We’re all about trying new places and as I was going through the list of what was open and what wasn’t I kept coming back to this one. I’m soooo glad we went to 127 Saloon. The food was absolutely the best! The staff was awesome! We didn’t have a reservation but were able to find a place at the bar, they let us know if we couldn’t find a seat to let them know and they would find us one. The place was CLEAN and light. I love it. 100/10 we’ll be back.”

“We had a family dinner tonight celebrating 2 birthdays. It was very busy as usual but wanted to comment on our waitress Aliza. She was very attentive and gave great service even with a lot of large groups. This was especially deserving of recognition as she's is a new server. Thank you for taking care of us!”

“The chips and salsa, food and deep fried ice cream is AMAZING! The customer service at the Meridian location was EXCEPTIONAL!! The owner Speedy is so amazing! He was so friendly to my two year old son and made sure we had everything we needed. Our waiter Andres was so wonderful as well and was so attentive. I’m pregnant and was craving their salsa and he made sure my salsa cup was always full and that we were happy. The prices are so reasonable there; it’s definitely one of my favorite places to eat and I can’t say enough about how impressed I am with this place!”

“Yummy, friendly Italian food. Highly recommended.”

“Tried for the first time and wasn’t disappointed. We got the fried zucchini to start with and it was wonderful. Food came out and we realized their pasta portions could feed 2-3 people a plate ? was extreme yummy. Service was good, person in front seemed scared, “deer in the headlights” look the whole time we interacted. He came over to our table at the end and kinda got in our bubble so that was a little awkward. But our server herself was nice! It’s a cute place to check out.”

“Only ordered chicken and vegetable Pho. They were very tasty as far as Pho goes, will order again.”

“Best of Meats ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Best of Meats aka BOM is a new meat-centric Boise-based food truck that serves Japanese charcoal grilled meat. They offer appetizers, mains, desserts and drinks. I visited for the first time on 11/12/20 and ordered a Grilled Platter. Platters come with two skewers of meat, seasoned rice, cabbage and house sauce. I wanted the beef tenderloin but they were out. I ordered one chicken thigh skewer and one pork tenderloin skewer ($13). That week, everyone who ordered a platter received a free Glazed Donut Ice Cream dessert. One of the owners heard me mention that I was bringing the food back to my office, he generously threw in two more skewers of meat for me to share with my coworkers. I and my three coworkers unanimously agreed BOM deserves a 5 star rating. I am no expert when it comes to Japanese charcoal grilled meat but the meat was high-quality, flavorful and tender. It was served on top of a generous bed of rice and cabbage with a delicious house sauce. The appetizers which consist of two meat skewers, would be perfect for those following a Keto or Paleo diet. Highly recommended!!!”

“Great place to go with the family on Friday night. We had immediate seating as a table of five(5) with no wait. There is a lot of room in this restaurant & a good amount of parking available as well. The tempura shrimp and vegetables were light and crispy. The sopa noodles w/ shrimp dish was filling & flavorful. The sushi & sashimi selection had a lot of variety, which was also awesome & the miso soup was tasty, too! We all had a terrific experience. You will probably be looking at about $15 to $50 per person depending on the foods & drinks selected. I don't know why, but the tip was automatically put onto our bill @ what looked like %20+. I didn't try to figure this part out because it fell in line with what I was thinking to tip anyway. But, this could be something to check before you get your final receipt where you go to sign and add a tip amount (again) if you didn't catch it the 1st time for some reason. Hahaha... nice one, Senpai!

Kid-friendliness: Yep, they supplied forks. But, my kids know how to use the sticks. 😎

Wheelchair accessibility: Yes!”

“finally a good Mexican restaurant since i moved to Idaho from San Diego.... great menu i loved the beans and my el pascal tacos very tasty, the tortilla soup very good and good chips and salsa... i will be a regular customer and highly recommend you try it out for yourself!”

“This is the original sunrise cafe. It is very old school, with a personal mug rack. The servers are excellent and the food is plentiful. My particular dish was $20, which was the highest price for an individual serving. But, everything is going up right?
They have marked the most popular items with a little Idaho picture. Take their advice! Very good.”

“Just went to Kona again today 7/27/22, this place is awesome- they have best gluten free items. my favorite salads- so YUM Ian ( our server) was superb everytime i am in Meridian i come to Kona”

“Tonight was our first time at Izumi and we were celebrating our 25 year anniversary. Brad was our waiter/server and he was so helpful and friendly and Fernando was our cook and he was hilarious and so entertaining. The food was so tasty and there was so much of it! My boys were impressed with the sushi too. Everything was perfect and we really enjoyed our visit. We will definitely be back!”

“I'm a Cajun from da mouth of the South (New Iberia, LA) and I approve of this place. We boil dem crustaceans in the seasoning, tho. Also, check out Louisiana Soul Bayou by the IMAX theater if you want legit Cajun food, made fresh by someone from my back of the woods!”

“Here's a Google review you can use:

---

I had the pleasure of being served by Lisa during my visit, and she was absolutely amazing! From the moment we sat down, she was warm, welcoming, and went above and beyond to make our experience special. Not only did she take great care of us, but she even gave us fun stickers and walked us to our cars with a smile! It's rare to find such thoughtful and genuinely kind service. Thank you, Lisa, for making our day so much brighter! Highly recommend this place—especially if Lisa is your waitress!

Parking: so awesome because of Lisa

Kid-friendliness: people r so nice”

“I just wanted to thank you for making my daughter's night special. We are trying to celebrate her graduation as best we can and stopped in to get her a treat, you added on a free shake! It really made her feel special. Thanks!”

“El charro breakfast burrito always hits the spot. Just like chipotle though prices have risen (i rem when they were 5-7$ ) now they are 11+ plus the portion has shrunken over the years. Used to be huuuuge now they are just big.”

“It's was great. During covid I was not impressed with this location but the new staff and the quality of food was on point the last few times I've been there.”

“young lady's customers service”

“There has DEFINITELY been improvement from the last time I was here. They got my order out quickly and the food tasted GREAT!! I’m glad it’s back to tasting like sonic again. 10/10”

“We had Smokin’ Iron cater lunch for our department. Absolutely the best Texas BBQ I’ve ever had! Meat was done to perfection, homemade sides were phenomenal. Portions were meant to feed a full grown man, so bring your appetite!”

“First time at Terri's Cafe. Food was great with general amounts, service was spot on and our waitress (Lyalka) was enjoyable.”

“This place Is delicious! I got the poke bowl and It was so good! The place Is clean and nice atmosphere! I will be back for the sushi burrito because I’m a big momma”

“I love this place! Highly recommend you will NOT be disappointed.”

“The Mac & Cheese² was wonderful as always. My fiancé got the Korean BBQ Cheesesteak, which he loved as well. The waitress Karen was lovely. She was on top of switching out drinks. We had good conversations with her. Everything was just amazing. I can't recommend this place enough.”

“My all-time favorite restaurant.
Salad is always on point.
They make it just the way I like my salad.
Husband and kids like the Gnocchi soup.
We enjoy their free yummy garlic bread, too, that comes with every meal.
salad and soup can be refilled.”

“The best sourdough sandwich I've tasted in decades. The owner was friendly and staff was right on top of everything and friendly. I've only scratched the surface of what they offer. A wonderful place with great food! 5 Stars!”

“amazing burgers! the trailer trash is an absolute must have along with incredible service”

“Came here for the first time and food was very good I had the breakfast sandwich on a croissant and my husband had the chilaquiles and both were very good. Can’t wait to come back and try some other options.”

“Houston TX Hot Chicken ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Houston TX Hot Chicken is a fast-casual restaurant that claims to offer “the freshest, healthiest and hottest Texas Hot Chicken sandwiches in the world.” Founded in 2020 by Houston Crosta and Edmond Barseghian, the original location is in Las Vegas, Nevada. Co-founder Barseghian states, “Our brand is Texas hot chicken – the sauce is sweeter and more savory than Nashville.” Despite the branding, this business has no connection to Texas; it is named after co-founder, Houston Crosta. KM and I visited Houston TX Hot Chicken in Meridian on 10/4/23, as part of a Yelp Elite event. We both got a complimentary Original Hot Chicken sandwich meal combo, plus a chicken tender and beverage of choice. The restaurant has high ceilings with exposed duct work, which gives it an industrial vibe. There are cool counter tops lit from beneath, which change color. There is a good amount of what appears to be light wood paneling along the walls, with some large, bold red images on part of a wall and the bathroom doors. The décor has a modern, youthful vibe. The combination of the most comfortable seating I’ve encountered in a fast/casual restaurant of it’s kind, indoor AND outdoor/patio dining, and great music played at a reasonable volume, gives the sense Houston TX Hot Chicken is trying to appear to a broader customer base than some of the other hot chicken joints I’ve visited locally, which is much appreciated. The service from start to end was EXCELLENT! The employees seemed genuinely happy to see us, and very sincere in their offer to answer questions etc. We also got to meet the GM Jason, who was very personable and a wealth of information. KM ordered the Strawberry Hibiscus House Lemonade, which you can upgrade to a Slushy for $1. I tried a taste. We both thought it was pretty good. I got Diet Pepsi. It had good carbonation. The Spice Levels from mildest to hottest are: No Spice, Honey Butter, Mild, Medium, Spicy, Liftoff, and Houston We Have a Problem. Ordering the latter requires you to sign a waiver. KM ordered a Mild Original Hot Chicken sandwich, and a Honey Butter chicken tender. I ordered a Medium Original Hot Chicken sandwich, and a Spicy chicken tender. There are 8 sauces to choose from, 4 of which are made in house daily. We got one of each of the ones made in house daily: House, Cheese, Cilantro, and Caesar. KM and I both LOVED our Original Hot Chicken sandwiches! KM doesn’t like spicy food as much as I do. She enjoyed both Mild and Honey Butter, though she didn’t feel she could really taste the Honey Butter flavoring in her tender. I loved both the Medium and Spicy, but next time I would get a Spicy sandwich and maybe try a Liftoff tender. The Halal chicken was perfectly cooked and seasoned. I don’t normally care for sweet sauces such as the House, but it paired perfectly with the Spicy flavor of my sandwich. The cole slaw was good. I really liked the Brioche bun; KM would have preferred an old-school Sesame Seed Hamburger Bun. The pickles were good. Each order included a container of House sauce. Houston TX Hot Chicken serves high quality Lamb Weston Concertina cut French fries. Concertina cut is “a modern take on classic crinkle cuts with deeper, crispier grooves and ridges. Crispy grooves have more edges that provide satisfying extra crunch. Thick cuts are sturdier and are less prone to breaking than thinner fries.” In my opinion, Lamb Weston French fries are the best premade fries you can buy, but they are hard to find. I appreciate that Houston TX Hot Chicken’s attention to detail regarding the use of high quality ingredients includes the type of chicken they use, as well as the quality of French fries they serve. The only thing I didn’t like about the fries is I think they are lightly seasoned with Honey Butter flavored spice. I like sweet flavors as part of a dessert, but I don’t care for them in an entrée. KM didn’t feel the fries were sweet. The average person may not. I’m just extra sensitive to sweet flavors in entrees. Next time, I would ask for the seasoning”

“We went in for lunch today I ordered chicken fried steak and eggs,my husband had a Ruben sandwich his came to him raw and my chicken fried steak was very greasy and the gravy was very runny, we have been there before and it was OK, but this time it was horrible we told the server how my husband's sandwich was raw and showed it to her she never tried to fix it for us to make it right or offer to take at least a percentage off our bill, we won't be going back...!”

“It's a quaint little dinner, with absolutely huge portion sizes, great waitress, and even better food. It was very clean and inviting... 10/10 would recommend again and again”

“We've eaten here 3 times and wait times have always been long. Beware you may have to wait quite awhile - for dine in OR for pick up. Doesn't matter. Tonight, we ordered two entrees for pick up and waited 75 minutes for our food - on a Tuesday. Ramen is fantastic. Fried rice entree is amazing. The curry rice noodle entree is not good - zero sauce, very very dry. It is more like a curry "rub" on noodles...They do accommodate special requests well. If they hired more staff it would be a huge help.”

“Good food, excellent customer service, and nice menu selections! We will be back.”

“Went to the In-N-Out Burger in Meridian on Veterans day. They have been there for a little over a year, and their lines continue to be long. Their food was delivered to us hot and smelling great!”

“The food was amazing. I love their Korean fried spicy chicken .”

“Delicious pizza, fresh ingredients, friendly staff and awesome atmosphere! Love coming here to try new flavors. I'd give more than 5 stars if I could!”

“The meatball and Italian subs were so delish… we will be back!”

“I have been here with my kiddos but we are from out of town, so I had to return with my entire family to make another great experience & to make great memories! Highly recommend best experience & best pizza I have ever ate.”

“Phenomenal environment! Highly recommend”

“I lived in New England for a long time and also parts of New York for a couple years, 42nd Street slices in downtown was great . I also had pizza from the oldest pizza joint in Connecticut. When I moved to Idaho I was worried about finding a NY style pizza that not only looked the part but tasted great as well......FUGET ABOUT IT, no need to look any further ! Jonny Bronx is like eating at home.”

“Walking into this candy shop felt like stepping back into my childhood. The owner was so warm and welcoming – she made me feel like an old friend, sharing stories and even helping me find a candy that reminded me of my grandma. It brought back such sweet memories.

The shop itself has that old-school, charming vibe that’s hard to find these days, with glass jars full of colorful sweets and the unmistakable smell of fresh candy. If you’re looking for a place that makes you feel like a kid again, this is it. I can’t wait to go back!”

“We’ve been here lots of times and we mostly like it. The key to be great in consistency, so I hope the chef(s) know that 🙃”

“These are the best bagles I have found. I love their jalapeno bagle and their jalapeno bagle dog. The staff are always so friendly. I highly recommend them to everyone I know. They have made Santa's nice list.”

“while I love Uncle Bob's probably should have prepared for the Halloween rush better. I ordered at 2:30 for pick up at 5:15, got there and was told it would be an additional 20 to 30 minutes. I did feel bad for the staff because people were angry. Just a suggestion for next year!”

“I tried this place for the first time via Uber Eats or DoorDash on 10/25/24. It was so good my roommate and I went in person the next day, and then I ordered it online AGAIN on Sunday. Today 11/1 I went in person again for lunch. I got the limited time menu chicken pesto pizza (It was incredible) the salad bar & a drink. I tell everyone I don’t like pizza, but I can’t say that anymore. this place has converted me. I’m obsessed with their salad bar, they have everything I love. I’m upset that I’ve lived less than a mile away from here for over 2 and a half years and I’m just now trying them out. 10/10 I will recommend them to literally everyone”

“If you're looking for a well made burger, look no further than this Freddy's location. Absolutely unmatched customer service right beside the unmatched burgers. With a retro reel, this Freddy's will have you thinking you're back in the 50's. 10 out of 10 Highly recommend this amazing restaurant.”

“So many sushi I havent tried before but all so good! I recommended a 1000th percent go here. And everyone was so nice”

“This is a great little place in downtown Meridian. The outdoor seating was wonderful. There is usually a wait for walk-ins so I recommend getting that reservation.

The small park next to the outdoor seating creates a wonderful atmosphere. The hard working misters and table umbrellas help keep the area cool in the summer. And the restaurant itself is modern and industrial looking with some touches of charm that work will in the area.

The service was good, although our server seemed to disappear for nearly 30 minutes as we waited to pay our check. They were extremely busy and we were enjoying the weather and location, so we didn't mind. They may have taken a break during that time. Otherwise, our server was incredibly pleasant and a delight. She checked in just the right amount.

The food was better than good. We both had the Salmon (pictured). Everything was delicious. The tomato based sauce on top of the salmon was good but not a great pairing. The mashed potatoes were excellent. The salmon was flakey and cooked with the right amount of crispiness to its edges without drying it out.

We added the salad with honey-lime vinaigrette, and it may have been our favorite part of the meal. The dressing was so refreshing and delightful on a warm summer day.

We also threw in the Burrata Caprese as a starter. This was quite good for a starter. It too was refreshing and paired well with the slightly heavier meal.

The only negative, was that our starter, salad, and meal all came out at the same time. However, everything paired well together, and was fantastically full of flavor.

We chose the huckleberry lemonade for our drink, and I would highly recommend it. It was delicious.

I highly recommend visiting this wonderfully located restaurant in downtown Meridian. Certainly one of the better pub-based restaurants we have visited. We will try the burgers on our next visit and update our experience.”

“Papa Murphys is our pizza go to. It's always fresh ingredients. Their website allows for customization, which we appreciate because we can request light sauce. The sauce is good but we like to taste the toppings.”

“I have tried multiple things here from the burgers, croissant sandwiches, the long sandwiches, the hot dogs, the bubble waffles, the drinks, the desserts and many of their pasties and everything had been absolutely delicious. I look forward to taking my family here when they visit from out of town. The tropical crepe cake is one of my favorite things ever. I still have quite a bit of stuff to try and I'm so glad.”

“Great food, low prices and the people that work here are the nicest. Try them out!”

“Always have the best time here!”

“I LOVE CUPBOP!!!! I tell my husband that Cupbop is never a bad idea! There food is delicious and fresh plus a shout out to Malanie your AWSOME! She's always sweet and welcoming !!!!”

“We enjoyed the small restaurant atmosphere where one can get to know the chefs (Mike, included). Food was excellent…have the Tempura green beans and then the Brutus Salad is excellent with chicken or salmon. The Atlantic salmon was grilled to perfection (medium with delicately medium seasoned saffron rice). Try the saffron infused Creme Brulet for dessert and enjoy live Jazz and after-dinner drinks at the Sidecar. However, make reservations if you want a table for dinner and after-dinner entertainment…take out available.”

“The ice cream is creamy and good. But after reading the ingredient list I won't go back as they use high fructose corn syrup in their ice cream.”

“Great neighborhood location where beer, family & friends and possibly a family pet can gather either in or out for good fun in a relaxed atmosphere. Friendly staff and good cold drinks make for a nice time.”

“I ate here for the first time today and I’ll be back!!”

“LOVE THEIR PIZZA?? The Gent that helped my Son and I great personality and eyes.”

“The TOMATO on the BLT was perfect! Great customer service and as always wonderful food! The macaroni salad is a must!”

“I am instantly in love with their burgers! Like holy moly! I’d seen this place several times but never stopped in til today. The fries and everything were so fresh! The staff was really nice too”

“Wife and i went here for a gathering and the service and food were great. I recommend giving it a try.”

“Been four times in the past two months since discovering the place. Food is fantastic.... service is hit or miss. Just left after waiting five/six minutes without acknowledgement by any staff after being seated, watched others getting served almost immediately after being seated. Please work on this.”

“Had a new server and we couldn’t believe how capable and qualified he was for never working in the industry…. This place truly cares you can feel it from the wait staff, to the kitchen….. come in for an authentic experience of a truly nice sports pub…. It doesn’t hurt that they have true sports fans in here……. good place to watch a BSU game or any other game they will accommodate. If you can ask for Alejandro he is amazing.”

“We absolutely love the atmosphere and the artwork on the walls at this spot. Their fruit bowls are one of our favorites in the Treasure Valley - definitely the go-to place for a fresh, delicious treat!”

“This Blimpie store on Main St in Meridian is so good; clean; efficient and loaded with friendly staff! Our orders are always done the way WE LIKE THEM! The staff are always friendly. Our to go orders are correct. When we order food for our helpful worker-friends, they've loved it all! The Moxie Java that's also there makes this Blimpie location perfect. The management staff are terrific, too. Keep up the standard of excellence, cause it shows!”

“Nicole is our favorite waitress. She is always so friendly and kind. She is so efficient. She always recognizes us when we come in. She has never made a mistake on our order either. We go for breakfast every Wednesday. We love Shari’s because of Nicole . She is an asset to Shari’s.”

“Meet with friends or come in for a quick drink. Friendly staff, great food.”

“Service was excellent and the food delicious! Thank you!!”

“Ate at the Rice Work July 9th. Ordered the teriyaki, veggies with rice. The rice was way over cooked and the veggies consisted of all broccoli and was under cooked. Chicken was so so. Would rate this meal just above garbage.”

“We enjoyed the small restaurant atmosphere where one can get to know the chefs (Mike, included). Food was excellent…have the Tempura green beans and then the Brutus Salad is excellent with chicken or salmon. The Atlantic salmon was grilled to perfection (medium with delicately medium seasoned saffron rice). Try the saffron infused Creme Brulet for dessert and enjoy live Jazz and after-dinner drinks at the Sidecar. However, make reservations if you want a table for dinner and after-dinner entertainment…take out available.”

“Just went to Kona again today 7/27/22, this place is awesome- they have best gluten free items. my favorite salads- so YUM Ian ( our server) was superb everytime i am in Meridian i come to Kona”

“The ice cream is creamy and good. But after reading the ingredient list I won't go back as they use high fructose corn syrup in their ice cream.”

“We used Walking Sombrero food truck for an event 4/22/23 and everyone really enjoyed the food. It was fresh and delicious! Very kind staff and really easy to work with. Great communication with the owner getting our event serviced. I highly recommend the food truck for your next event! Great variety of food options for adults and kids. Nice choices of meats too!”

“So many sushi I havent tried before but all so good! I recommended a 1000th percent go here. And everyone was so nice”

“Being a first timer I tried the steak bomb By far the best sub I have ever had. The fries compliment the sub. Alyssa suggested the cookie which was delish. We highly recommend this place and often use them at the office for catering. Yes it takes a bit longer but it’s worth the wait as they cook to order our food which is important to our group. We get Jon smith subs once a week”

“amazing burgers! the trailer trash is an absolute must have along with incredible service”

“Service and food were fantastic. Jessica and Kyle were amazing. The checked often to see if we needed anything and if everything was as we wanted it. The chef is amazing. The salmon and cod were perfectly cooked.”

“the food was great warm and fast served well made nice people friendly environment to kids and lots of food. definitely would recommend trying even If your not a fan of Mexican”

“Great chicken option. We came through the drive thru at 3pm when it wasn't too busy, so our order was made fresh. The chicken was lightly breaded and the quality of the chicken meat was excellent. I feel it was worth the wait to get the chicken made fresh. I don't know if they make it fresh every time, but I feel they should. I think most people, like me, would be willing to wait the extra few minutes for fresh chicken. I only left 4 stars for atmosphere, but that's only because I only came through Thre drive thru and didn't go into the building”

“Went to the In-N-Out Burger in Meridian on Veterans day. They have been there for a little over a year, and their lines continue to be long. Their food was delivered to us hot and smelling great!”

“Cannot say enough about this awesome place! Food was excellent and our server, Cory, was exceptional. Our first time here and we will definitely be back and recommend to everyone.”

“goated food this stuffs always the best whenever i get it priced are a little high but i be worth it i love this place i love my chicken tenders i wish they had some watermelon on they menu or some grape koolaid to slide with them sliders”

“Houston TX Hot Chicken ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Houston TX Hot Chicken is a fast-casual restaurant that claims to offer “the freshest, healthiest and hottest Texas Hot Chicken sandwiches in the world.” Founded in 2020 by Houston Crosta and Edmond Barseghian, the original location is in Las Vegas, Nevada. Co-founder Barseghian states, “Our brand is Texas hot chicken – the sauce is sweeter and more savory than Nashville.” Despite the branding, this business has no connection to Texas; it is named after co-founder, Houston Crosta. KM and I visited Houston TX Hot Chicken in Meridian on 10/4/23, as part of a Yelp Elite event. We both got a complimentary Original Hot Chicken sandwich meal combo, plus a chicken tender and beverage of choice. The restaurant has high ceilings with exposed duct work, which gives it an industrial vibe. There are cool counter tops lit from beneath, which change color. There is a good amount of what appears to be light wood paneling along the walls, with some large, bold red images on part of a wall and the bathroom doors. The décor has a modern, youthful vibe. The combination of the most comfortable seating I’ve encountered in a fast/casual restaurant of it’s kind, indoor AND outdoor/patio dining, and great music played at a reasonable volume, gives the sense Houston TX Hot Chicken is trying to appear to a broader customer base than some of the other hot chicken joints I’ve visited locally, which is much appreciated. The service from start to end was EXCELLENT! The employees seemed genuinely happy to see us, and very sincere in their offer to answer questions etc. We also got to meet the GM Jason, who was very personable and a wealth of information. KM ordered the Strawberry Hibiscus House Lemonade, which you can upgrade to a Slushy for $1. I tried a taste. We both thought it was pretty good. I got Diet Pepsi. It had good carbonation. The Spice Levels from mildest to hottest are: No Spice, Honey Butter, Mild, Medium, Spicy, Liftoff, and Houston We Have a Problem. Ordering the latter requires you to sign a waiver. KM ordered a Mild Original Hot Chicken sandwich, and a Honey Butter chicken tender. I ordered a Medium Original Hot Chicken sandwich, and a Spicy chicken tender. There are 8 sauces to choose from, 4 of which are made in house daily. We got one of each of the ones made in house daily: House, Cheese, Cilantro, and Caesar. KM and I both LOVED our Original Hot Chicken sandwiches! KM doesn’t like spicy food as much as I do. She enjoyed both Mild and Honey Butter, though she didn’t feel she could really taste the Honey Butter flavoring in her tender. I loved both the Medium and Spicy, but next time I would get a Spicy sandwich and maybe try a Liftoff tender. The Halal chicken was perfectly cooked and seasoned. I don’t normally care for sweet sauces such as the House, but it paired perfectly with the Spicy flavor of my sandwich. The cole slaw was good. I really liked the Brioche bun; KM would have preferred an old-school Sesame Seed Hamburger Bun. The pickles were good. Each order included a container of House sauce. Houston TX Hot Chicken serves high quality Lamb Weston Concertina cut French fries. Concertina cut is “a modern take on classic crinkle cuts with deeper, crispier grooves and ridges. Crispy grooves have more edges that provide satisfying extra crunch. Thick cuts are sturdier and are less prone to breaking than thinner fries.” In my opinion, Lamb Weston French fries are the best premade fries you can buy, but they are hard to find. I appreciate that Houston TX Hot Chicken’s attention to detail regarding the use of high quality ingredients includes the type of chicken they use, as well as the quality of French fries they serve. The only thing I didn’t like about the fries is I think they are lightly seasoned with Honey Butter flavored spice. I like sweet flavors as part of a dessert, but I don’t care for them in an entrée. KM didn’t feel the fries were sweet. The average person may not. I’m just extra sensitive to sweet flavors in entrees. Next time, I would ask for the seasoning”

“This is a great little place in downtown Meridian. The outdoor seating was wonderful. There is usually a wait for walk-ins so I recommend getting that reservation.

The small park next to the outdoor seating creates a wonderful atmosphere. The hard working misters and table umbrellas help keep the area cool in the summer. And the restaurant itself is modern and industrial looking with some touches of charm that work will in the area.

The service was good, although our server seemed to disappear for nearly 30 minutes as we waited to pay our check. They were extremely busy and we were enjoying the weather and location, so we didn't mind. They may have taken a break during that time. Otherwise, our server was incredibly pleasant and a delight. She checked in just the right amount.

The food was better than good. We both had the Salmon (pictured). Everything was delicious. The tomato based sauce on top of the salmon was good but not a great pairing. The mashed potatoes were excellent. The salmon was flakey and cooked with the right amount of crispiness to its edges without drying it out.

We added the salad with honey-lime vinaigrette, and it may have been our favorite part of the meal. The dressing was so refreshing and delightful on a warm summer day.

We also threw in the Burrata Caprese as a starter. This was quite good for a starter. It too was refreshing and paired well with the slightly heavier meal.

The only negative, was that our starter, salad, and meal all came out at the same time. However, everything paired well together, and was fantastically full of flavor.

We chose the huckleberry lemonade for our drink, and I would highly recommend it. It was delicious.

I highly recommend visiting this wonderfully located restaurant in downtown Meridian. Certainly one of the better pub-based restaurants we have visited. We will try the burgers on our next visit and update our experience.”

“The experience I've had the two times so far has been very pleasant and the service was very good. Peter was the gentleman who helped us and had really good customer service. The food wash hot when we got it and the flavor was amazing. I will definitely be returning here again. I can forget their dessert jar it's delicious”
